St. Petersburg, Florida, impressed me with its #BusRapidTransit, #PedestrianInfrastructure, many indigenous #coffee shops, and a highly functional #BikeTrail. (Also, the #WarehouseArtsDistrict is amazing but I didn't write about it.) https://brucefnesmith.blogspot.com/2025/02/urbanism-in-st-petersburg-offseason.html #urbanism #stpetersburg

It makes me so happy to see this little stretch of new sidewalk. It replaces a very old narrow rotten sidewalk and links two of our major multi-use trails. It’s been on the pedestrian project list for at least 30 years (as long as I’ve lived here) #issaquah #pedestrianInfrastructure

New bench! Old frame, new planks rehabbed by one of our volunteers.

Another solution is investing in pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, such as dedicated bike lanes and walkable paths. This not only helps with the last-mile issue, but also promotes active transportation and a healthier lifestyle. #lastmile #pedestrianinfrastructure #cyclinginfrastructure

@Doohickie you got love big organization with all their rules. Its all about what you call something. 🤣

it not #PedestrianInfrastructure its an #artInstallation

I like how it was folks in Portland, OR that were able to help out the folks of Texas when their government couldn't figure out how to connect two parks divided by a creek.
Thanks for the link to the whole story.

@Doohickie A salutory lesson on what happens when funds are not put aside for #Pedestrianinfrastructure is from Canberra. Five people lost their lives in one downpour https://the-riotact.com/it-was-bedlam-former-police-officer-recalls-the-night-seven-people-died-in-the-woden-flood/433556

The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.
